Material Testing

ITCO LAB is certified laboratory with equipment capable of providing prompt materials testing results. Our laboratory Engineers / Technicians inspect, test, and certify materials with efficient test data turnaround.

During the construction phase of projects, ITCO LAB's qualified and well-trained engineers and technicians conduct on-site and laboratory tests on various construction materials to verify compliance with the required specifications and standards. Typical field tests for fresh concrete include determination of temperature, slump, air content, time of setting, bleeding and density.

Laboratory tests for quality control of concrete, asphalt, Reinforcement Steel Bar, Strand Testing, Cement, aggregates, Water proofing membrane, geotextile, PVC water stop, HDPE pipe.

For conducting the above tests, ITCO LAB owns a range of new and well-maintained testing equipments, which are calibrated periodically as per the requirements of ITCO LAB Quality Control Manual which complies with ISO/IEC 17025:2017 standards.
